Christmas came a little early on Saturday with a special delivery from the North Pole's Texas extension. Here is some video of Conor playing with his new teepee. I think he likes it - see for yourself:

Preheat oven to 350.
Separate biscuits in half.
Press one half of each biscuit into the bottom of a greased muffin tin.
Place a spoonful of soup onto each biscuit.
Top with remaining biscuit halves, pressing around the edges to seal.
Optional: Top with cheese, or a pat of butter and some seasoning.
Bake at 350 for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
DONE!

The beauty of this recipe is the versatility - you can use any kind of soup you like! I think it works best with a cream based soup, like chowder or a chunkier cream of whatever. If you use a broth based soup, it's best to drain it first. You can also mix and match - I made it with drained southwestern vegetable soup and a dollop of cream of mushroom. Make a bunch and freezer the leftovers.
